Gene: Yes, for one minute. The TI-59 was that much faster in general.

Did they use the best chips in the 59 and the marginal ones in the 58, allowing them to run a faster clock in the pricier model? I think I read somewhere that HP did something like that in the 48 series.

However, the benchmarks you used above for the 58 and 59 are not the same. How much is the difference when you run exactly the same code on both machines?
